Indian Railways recruitment and vacancy updates

Overview

The Indian Railway Board has introduced new directives for vacancy assessments within the Human Resource Management System. Starting with the 2027 annual recruitment calendar, the process will use Crew Review data from the previous two years to anticipate post increases and will factor in No Objection Certificates for inter-railway transfers to adjust vacancies between zones.

Concurrently, various railway entities have announced specific recruitment drives for the 2026–27 period. The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) is recruiting 44 apprentice trainees, including graduate and computer operator roles, across the East Zone. Additionally, the North Western Railway in Jaipur has announced 2,008 apprentice training slots across divisions such as Ajmer, Bikaner, and Jodhpur. Selection for these roles is based on a merit list derived from 10th-grade and ITI qualifications rather than written examinations.
